Franz Lampel

Franz Lampel is a Research Fellow at Eindhoven University of Technology's Signal Processing Systems department. He holds a B.Sc. (2015), M.Sc. (2018) from Graz University of Technology, and a Ph.D. (2024) from TU/e. His research focuses on signal processing for joint communication and sensing, waveform design, and radar-communication integration, particularly in automotive applications. He contributes to projects like IT-JCAS (2024–2028) and DIGI-OPT (2018–2026).

Education:

• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Graz University of Technology (2012–2015)
• Master's in Electrical Engineering, Graz University of Technology (2015–2018)
• Ph.D. in Joint Radar and Communication Techniques for Automotive Applications, TU/e (2024)

Research interests include waveform design for radar-communication coexistence, dispersive channel equalization (e.g., OTFS modulation via Zak transforms), and FMCW radar signal processing. His work bridges theoretical signal processing with practical automotive and communication systems. Recent publications address OTFS equalization, radar dispersion compensation, and OFDM waveform optimization.

He collaborates on projects like the Integrated Cooperative Automated Vehicles initiative (2016–2021), focusing on automotive radar systems. His lab affiliations include the Information and Communication Theory Lab at TU/e.
